tb Opinion on the presentation of the President P f 1 a n z e of 29.5.42 de3 5 data secretary in Bohe nd Maheen. sprotek Eing.: - 4 Ju 1942 The technical and personnel viewing of the telegraph and telephone network in Bohemia and Moravia has been carried out by the Post group in close cooperation with the intelligence commander and the defense officer of the Wehrmacht authorized officer and with the commander of the security police by the telegram authorized representative of the Reichspostminister - Oberpostrat Müller - according to his instructions. The lack of security was already claimed by the Minister of the Reichspost at the beginning of last year as a justification for the necessity of the appointment of a German Director-General. "However, this did not prevent the Reichspostministerium from withdrawing more than 600 post-workers employed in the Protectorate with the mediation and monitoring of remote bindings in the autumn of 1994 in the interest of the East. The expeditiousness of the measures proposed by President Pflanze is not disputed. However, I must strongly object to the fact that, as a politically appropriate method to increase the security of the intelligence service, it is necessary to remove the postal services from the traffic to eliminate the influence of the local administration. The claim that the post office is by nature in no way linked to the department and is located within the Ministry of Transport and Technology in an alien environment is most easily refuted by the fact that in Italy railway and mail are united in a ministry, in southern Germany for decades railway and post were united under one hand and the leader at that time had appointed the Reich Transport Minister in Personalunion as post minister. tky Vauto 26.42 St S.TJ=12/42
